Last week I removed the K&N air filters from my 86 F250 4x4 460C.I.-- 02 Dakota 4x4 4.7. and I have noticed that the FORD runs abit better, and the DAKOTA got a few tenth better gas mileage. I must say I was alittle surprised I have run K&Ns for several years now, but now I will most likely stay with paper.
